Buyers Products SaltDogg SHPE0750 Commercial Salt & Sand Spreader w/Electric Drive Hopper, Made In The USA, 0.75 Cu. Yds Capacity, Stainless Steel Auger, Residential Salt Spreader

I bought this sander unsure if it was going to fit in my Ram 1500 with the short bed (5'6)- according to the description, it needed at least a 6' bed. A friend of mine has a SaltDogg and said he had it in a shot bed truck before so I decided to try it.This fit quite nicely in the short bed of the 1500. I already had Airlift 1000's in the truck for towing my camper, which were absolutely necessary with the sander and any salt load. If I loaded 1/2 yard, it was at the trucks's limit; I never hit bumpstops because of the air suspension but you could tell it didn't want any more weight. The sander is approx 400# and the salt I use is GreenMelt, which is about 1000-1100# for a half yard.After I figured out that I had to adjust the gate to allow salt to pass through, it worked really good and I have no complaints as far as function. It was easy to wire with a disconnect at the battery for the off-season.I have two issues with this sander. My biggest gripe is passing wires with a quick connect that's 1/1/4" thick through the firewall is a PITA trying to insulate to keep the engine bay noise out. The second issue is the sander hopper is about 8" too short for the loader buckets to just be able to dump the salt. I have to shovel salt from the end of the bucket into the hopper or it ends up in the truck bed or on the ground. I'll have to fab some wings for the hopper for next season.The first two photos are the sander in my 2016 Ram 1500. The last photo is the sander in my 2019 Ram 2500. I upgraded for the better ride while loaded and decided I was doing enough work to justify a 2500.

Just a heads up... The product pictures for the extended chute don't help much. When we mounted ours on a 3/4 ton flatbed truck the spreader hung below the level of the receiver and it is only worse after sand is loaded. I paid roughly $500 extra for the extended chute and when I tried to return it I was told it would be a 20% ($100) restocking fee and no additional credit because the dealer cost is $15 more for the extended chute than the regular chute. We modified the plastic chute instead. It's the dealer's choice how to conduct business. He also said I was the second recent purchase to have the same issue. I just want others to realize exactly what they are getting. Signed, My 2 chutes worth of opinion.

Yesterday was the first day I use this device I filled it up with sand that has liquid salt mixed in with it, everything went through the auger just find, spreads it really nice. Comes with everything you need to hook it up to your truck wiring the whole works. I got the model that had the vibrator on it already I think that's the way to go.

The media could not be loaded.  Works great! My driveway is 1,400 for long so a sander is a must for me. I use a 50/50 sand/salt mix that is totally dry. I have to leave the vibe on the entire time while sanding or it just won’t come out right. Set up was super easy and quick. For the price this is a great buy. I have the oger set at 9 and the spinner at 2 for best results for what I’m doing.

I drop about a yard of salt/sand mix each time it snows in northern Michigan. I had a tailgate spreader for 3 years and this blows it out of the water.

I've only used this sander once so far, it worked alright but I was using a decently wet mixture of sand and salt. I think it would work perfect with straight salt, although I will try a fresh batch of sand/salt first, it's a lot cheaper. Paris Supply was a pleasure to work with, and the sander came within 3 or 4 business days, which was before their estimated delivery date.

Delivered as promissed

Could not be happier with this salt dog. Easy to operate and well built.
